Diminishing rookie success

I usually ignore your miserable ramblings on here because you only have 2 contributions; shitting on everything US and TM supermoto. But tell me this, who is the last rookie to walk into MX2 and start winning? Must be something wrong with the EMX system, right?

The top amateurs haven't raced a 4 lap race since they were racing peewees. They hit a rotation of amateur nationals with long motos, not unlike the 7 race EMX series. The only difference is they are stand alone races, not a series run in conjunction with the nationals.

The top pros in the 250 class on both sides of the pond are just way too polished these days to let some kid come in and start winning races.

Vialle .. would be winning in MX2 if Prado wasnt there.. i watch Lorettas , and attend a lot of GP's and the standard if riders coming out of Amateurs, and the age they do it is stupid. Jett Lawrence would be on a factory ride if he had stayed here .. he is wasting time IMO althoigh i just heard he is going pro for Unadilla, which makes sense because as we have seen for 3 or 4 years , the guys coming up cant cut it at pro level. But the fact they come up later means they dont get chance to learn before they are either hurt in SX or outclassed in outdoors. Forkner is the only stand out rider from Ams recently.. and he hasnt managed a title , Cooper is good, but hse wasnt a stand out amateur .. Matthes is right, its fucked, and needs fixing.

Cooper won the horizon award as the best amateur prospect, dipshit. You only check in with the US racing scene long enough to form an uniformed negative opinion to come spew all over Vital. You know nothing about these kids or their background or who is ready to move up and who needs another year of grooming. Admittedly, I don't know shit about EMX125 or 300 or whatever your amateur classes are. So I don't go on European based message boards claiming their system is fucked because I heard it on a podcast. That would just make me look like a miserable troll, wouldn't it?
